Math is Marvelous

This product was created to help students write one-step equations from word problems that are based on a single math operation (either addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division). For each problem, the problem is stated and it asks for an equation to be written and solved. A graphic organizer is given that provides space for the first number, the operation, the second number and a variable to represent the unknown (the answer). The student is reminded to check that the answer makes s

This product has a graphic organizer for adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators and for subtracting mixed numbers with unlike denominators. The method DOES NOT USE BORROWING. The organizer allows the student to write numbers in the graphic organizer and has two organizers per sheet. This product allows the student more autonomy in completing their work if he/she is learning the process. An example of using the graphic organizer is provided. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

These graphic organizers help the students multiply and divide mixed numbers. They may also be used for multiplying or dividing a mixed number and a fraction (by ignoring one of the "whole number" boxes). There are two organizers per page for each type. The steps are described verbally, and shapes are provided to visually help the student complete the process. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

This product is a template for students to create mini-posters or complete fraction addition with unlike denominators by multiplying both fractions by a form of 1 created from the other fraction's denominator. In other words, the addition is done by "multiplying the denominators". This is the strategy I am teaching/reteaching my students before teaching finding and using the least common denominator. The product includes a page with 4 graphic organizers for the students to use to add unlike

These two worksheets present a total of 30 expressions that are to be evaluated using given values for the variables. One worksheet has basic (easy) expressions for beginners. Both worksheets have expressions including addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The worksheets provide ample space for students to show their work. Answers are included. There are no negative integer values for the variables.

This product is a worksheet & tabular graphic organizer all-in-one. It includes a total of 24 fraction addition problems where the denominators are unlike. The graphic organizer is in table form with the steps described in the column headings and an example on each page. The steps given are: finding the least common multiple/denominator of the two denominators, setting up with addition problem showing multiplying by numbers (fractions in the form of 1) to arrive at common denominators, the

This product includes a review worksheet for adding integers using a number line and using + & - symbols, 40 integers problems and a worksheet that asks the student to show how to add and subtract integers using these methods: 1. Number line 2. Positive and Negative Markers (+ and -) and showing zero pairs 3. The rule: "keep, change, change" and the adding integer song. Each student receives a different set of three problems to do on the worksheet. On the worksheet, the student is asked to sho

This worksheet has 10 adding and subtracting integer problems each reminding the student to apply "keep, change, change" if it is a subtraction problem and providing space for the student to use + and - symbols representing each number. The worksheet also has a reminder for the student to circle and cross out zero pairs, and report what is left. A blank worksheet is also included in the product so that the teacher may add his/her own problems. A key is provided.

This product has 30 adding and subtracting integer cards. The student or teacher cuts the cards apart. The student sorts them into Addition problems and Subtraction problems. The student uses the "Keep - Change - Change" phrase that changes a subtraction problem into "adding the opposite" problem. Colored tiles or pieces of paper are used to represent -1 and 1 to help evaluate the problems. The student writes the answer to the problems on the cards. This product was created by Susan M. Wa

This activity was created to have students work together in pairs or small groups to work on problems dealing with number sense. It is useful for math intervention or review at many grade levels. The pairs or groups work on one task at a time. Each task has typically 3 or 4 questions or problems. The students answer the questions or solve the problems as a group and present their results to the teacher. If they are correct, their group can sign up for a mystery prize. Several mystery p

This game was created for students to practice completing income/expense ledgers before they learn about budgeting. My students ask me often if they can play it! The students take turns drawing a card, and on each card is either a particular income or expense for the student. The income or expense is recorded on the ledger (included), and a balance is calculated. Adding and subtracting numbers are practiced. The vocabulary of income and expense is practiced. The game may be played for a chos

This product is designed for the students to complete a problem of renaming fractions so that they may be added together. The organizer should be used at least once with the students to show them how it may be used. I intentionally left off a lot of explanation on the organizer because I wanted to make the organizer simple and not "busy" . This method uses the least common denominator of the two fractions. There are spaces wherever numbers are to be written.

This product is a scavenger hunt or "around the room" assignment. The questions include: Evaluate 8 y when y = 2 Evaluate 5 p – 1 when p = 4 Write the expression for “the sum of 12 and a number h”Write the expression for “the quotient of h and 12” Write the expression for 12 divided by 3 Write the expression for “the product of 12 and the number h” Simplify:5(h + 3) – 3h Simplify this expression:10( h – 3) Simplify:8 + h + 3 Simplify: 6( h + 5) – 5 Simplify:6(4 + h + 2) Simplify 4(4) hT

This product was created to introduce solving two-step equations to students so that they how to undo steps to solve for the variable. This product includes one page that defines "equation" and briefly discusses the basic operations that can be applied to equations. This product then includes 4 pages of two-step equations without integers (8 problems) that "talk" the equations through for the students. The students are prompted to describe what operations are applied to the variable and how to

This product is a tabular graphic organizer that provides the steps for dividing fractions by fractions and for dividing fractions and whole numbers. There is a space provided for each step of the process. One example is given for each type of problem, and 10 additional problems and answers are provided. Blank sheets are provided for writing in your own problems. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

This worksheet describes the steps and gives examples of converting between improper fractions and mixed numbers, fractions to decimals, and decimals to percents, and vice versa for all of these. Each procedure has a few problems for the students to practice. An answer sheet is provided in case the teacher does not want the student to write on the worksheet. This product was created by Susan M. Walker.

A common way to answer any type of problem is for the students to state their claim (the answer), their reasoning (how they solved the problem), and their evidence (why they solved it the way they did). This packet of 20 math word problems includes prompts to: 1) underline the question(s) 2) circle important information 3) show their work (EVIDENCE) 4) indicate words or phrases that justify why they solved the problem they did (REASONING) 5) state the answer(s) (CLAIM) The template used is a

I created this product because some of my students were having a difficult time understanding how to complete a ratio table. The graphic organizer helps me explain and helps the students to visually see the process.

This graphic organizer/worksheet was created to help students practice adding and subtracting integers. It includes an organizer for changing a subtraction problem to an addition problem, using + & - symbols for adding, and a number line for adding. The student is given an addition or subtraction problem (or the teacher may write them in the spaces before copying the sheet), decides if the KEEP, CHANGE, CHANGE is necessary, shows the addition using + & - symbols AND using a number line. Th

This product has a 12-sheet Scavenger Hunt that is posted randomly about the room. Each sheet has an equation or expression problem, and the answers have to be found on another sheet as well as the next problem. A one-page "scavenger hunt" with the same problems on it is also provided with this product. The types of problems include: 1. Expanded forms of exponential expressions (2 problems) 2.
